Datasmith format (.udatasmith) file not detected when importing

Development Pipeline & Plugins

Good morning everyone.

I just installed UE 4.19 Preview along with the Datasmith plugin. I was working on my first test, exported the .udatasmith content from 3dsmax with the Datasmith plug in. However when I tried to import the file and the library into my UE project the file would not be detected. It seems that despite having the Datasmith plugin installed in UE it is not detecting the .udatasmith files in order to import them.

Any suggestions on how to face this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure if you should better post this in the Datasmith beta forum…

Using the Unreal Studio template I found import Datasmith functions in the ribbon - worked very smoothly.

Mine did the same thing if/when I went through File/IMPORT ALL. When I use the Datasmith function on the ribbon it worked fine so I think there is a bug in the import function from the menu. Good Luck!
